Digital camera reviews of Kodak Easyshare M863 8.2 MP Digital Camera with 3xOptical Zoom (Red)
Digital camera Review: One of The best I have Ever Purchased
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this camera up to replace a Canon sd100 that I absolutely could not stand and let me tell you I have owned some really expensive cameras and this little camera stood right up there with them,I don't have one bad thing to say about this camera. It took EXCELLENT Pictures and EXCELLENT video. The pictures were so clear and all you had to do was just press the button. It took the pictures that fast to. I was extremely please and impressed with this little Kodak.Digital camera Review: Outside pictures? A joke
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this camera to replace a battery problem with double AA batteries on another camera. Battery is fine but as stated in other reviews, you can't see anything on the screen to take a picture with if you are outdoors. There is no viewfinder to aid you either although I always use the screen. All I could see was an image of my face in the lcd screen and I just had to guess, point and shoot and hoped I got what I was aiming towards. Not good at all. I am going to return it! What good is it if you can't see what you are aiming towards? I would not recommend this at all!Digital camera Review: Pleased With It
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to have a small camera that would fit easily in my book bag, one I could always carry along with me. Since we have other Kodak cameras, we already had the software on our computer.
This camera works very well. I like the large LCD display. The picture quality is excellent. Taking outdoor pictures without a viewfinder is a bit of a challenge, but that's a small matter.
Overall, I'm very pleased and would recommend it.
Digital camera Review: Poor design
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this camera in February 2009. In late November the camera stopped working. Shipped it off to Kodak's repair service "United Camera and Binocular Repair." Long story short, warranty repairs denied because of corrosion inside of the camera. ??? The camera did get a lot of use, however, it was never abused or exposed to excessive moisture (A few rain drops now and then...but thats it). I honestly expected this camera to last 5-6 years and when it died on Thankgiving afternoon I was a little upset that I was unable to capture any photos. I am even more upset that because of some design flaw that allowed moisture into the case, Kodak refuses to honor the 1 year warranty on this product.
Because of only mediocre picture quality, I probably would not have purchased another Kodak, but couple average picture quality along with a failure to honor the product warranty, I will never purchase another Kodak product again.
Digital camera Review: Problem with Sound
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this camera 2 days ago while on a trip out of state. I bought it to replace another easyshare camera (V803) I lost just the other day.
What I LOVED about this camera was:
* Ease of use - menu navigation and controls
* Easier to hold onto not as slippery
* Fantastic and large LCD screen!
* Great shots - not blurry like my other Easyshare V803
* Fantastic video
My V803 always froze on me to where I'd have to remove the battery. If I took pics of my kids they were ALWAYS blurry. I even had the camera serviced 3 times in the first year I had it and it still froze on me.
But the MD863 took FANTASTIC shots! And I was impressed with the shutterspeed.
Only one major problem. The camera made a very high pitched noise when the LCD screen was on. When I recorded video the noise was amplified. The high pitched noise would stop when the LCD screen went off to conserve battery power. Called Kodak and they said I could send it in for repair but with my unsuccessful repair history with the other camera I am going to choose to return it to Walmart instead. I don't want to have to wait weeks for it to get fixed for one, and 2 I don't have a lot of faith that they will actually fix the dang thing. Kodak should just give you a new one when these things happen.
If I cannot get another one (same model) that works, I think this will kill it for me and Kodak. I know they are one of the best brands out there but if I cannot get any luck with 2 different Kodak camera models then I'd be stupid to purchase it again. It's true, hardward just isn't made like it used to be.
